I may not like it. I may think the GDC made a collossol mistake in setting up the scoring system this way. I may think it makes it incredibly boring to watch too, and creates a whole host of other issues.

However, these are the rules, and you're simply seeing smart teams use them to their advantage. In point of fact, if you had been at Cass Tech, you would have seen the same teams doing essentially the same thing, but in reverse, driving their points totals up so that they could seed high and pick who they wanted to.

There is no rule against doing what they're doing, and the GDC KNEW this could be the possible result when they wrote it. I do certainly hope we don't see teams attempting to stack the deck at States by running scores up for eachother, but I wouldn't doubt it will happen.

It's legal.
